Preparing for your big day as a bride-to-be can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help you navigate through this special time in your life, here are ten tips to keep in mind:

1. Stay Organized: Create a wedding planning timeline and checklist to stay on top of tasks and deadlines.

2. Set a Budget: Determine your budget early on and prioritize your spending on what's most important to you. (You can stay on track by DIY-ing or purchasing from previous brides!)

3. Take Care of Yourself: Stay healthy and manage stress by getting enough sleep, eating well, and taking time for self-care. Get a massage or facial a few weeks before your date.

4. Communicate with Your Partner: Keep the communication lines open with your partner to make decisions together and support each other.

5. Delegate Tasks: Don't be afraid to ask for help from family and friends to lighten your load and make the planning process more enjoyable.

6. Choose Vendors Wisely: Research and choose reliable vendors who understand your vision and can help bring it to life. Make sure they are within your budget and share your ideal wedding style. (Also CONTRACTS! Never use a vendor that doesn't offer this level of professionalism)

7. Stay True to Yourself: Don't get caught up in trying to please everyone else – make decisions that reflect your style and preferences.

8. Finalize Details Early: Try to finalize major details like venue, catering, and attire well in advance to avoid last-minute stress.

9. Enjoy the Journey: Remember to enjoy the process of planning your wedding and focus on the love and excitement of marrying your partner.

10. Take Time for Each Other: Amidst the busyness of wedding planning, make sure to spend quality time with your partner to cherish the moments leading up to your special day. Put date nights on the schedule.

By keeping these wedding planning tips in mind, you can navigate the journey to your wedding day with more ease and enjoyment. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
